9 Best Off-the-Strip Las Vegas Hotels (Revealed!)
The Strip is what Las Vegas is known for, but maybe that just isn’t your cup of tea, and you would prefer something a little farther away. Whether that’s to escape some of the noise or just to save a bit of cash, I’ve got you covered.
Here are 9 best Las Vegas hotels off the Strip:
- Desert Rose Resort
- Green Valley Ranch Resort and Spa
- El Cortez Hotel and Casino
- Aliante Casino + Hotel + Spa
- Platinum Hotel and Spa
- The Oasis at Gold Spike
- Virgin Hotels Las Vegas
- The Orleans Hotel & Casino
- M Resort Spa and Casino
Read on and I’ll go over what makes each of these hotels so great and which will be the best for you. From budget options to family-friendly luxury resorts, we’ll cover it all, so let’s get started.
1. Desert Rose Resort
If you’re looking for a quieter stay (there is no casino) that’s still within walking distance of the Las Vegas Strip, then the Desert Rose Resort may be the perfect option for you. It’s located two blocks away from the Strip, making it a great choice if you don’t have your car with you.
This 3-star resort features 278 one and two-bedroom suites.
Desert Resort Suite Features
- Private balcony or patio
- Full kitchen
- Separate living area with sofas
This makes it ideal for longer-term stays because you’ll be able to spend more time in your suite without feeling like you’re staying in a bedroom all day. The amenities are pretty limited, however, compared to some of the other options on this list.
Desert Rose Resort Amenities
- A fitness center
- Complimentary breakfast
- A BBQ area
- Happy hour on select days
- An outdoor pool with hot tub
The dining options are also pretty limited at Desert Rose Resort. The only actual restaurant is Ellington’s Bar and Grill, but there’s also a convenience store where you can pick up snacks and a lobby bar if you’re wanting a drink.
Possibly the number one reason for choosing this Las Vegas hotel is because, unlike most resorts in Vegas, the Desert Rose doesn’t charge a daily resort fee, and parking is free.
Additional Desert Rose Information
- Address: 5051 Duke Ellington Way, Las Vegas (google maps)
- The resort is within easy walking distance to the MGM Grand, Tropicana, Luxor, Excalibur, and New York-New York.

2. Green Valley Ranch Resort Spa & Casino
If you’re traveling with kids, then you’re looking for something different than what a lot of the hotels on and off the Strip offer. While you may want to enjoy happy hour every night and spend your time fooling around in the casinos, kids can’t do that and are going to need alternative activities.
In that case, Green Valley Ranch Resort and Spa might be an excellent option for you.
Out of the options on this list, it is one of the farthest from the actual Strip. It is a 15 to 20-minute drive, so if you don’t have a car, this may not be your best choice.
Green Valley Ranch Resort and Spa Amenities
The Green Valley Ranch Resort is home to an impressive list of amenities, including:
- A beautiful resort pool
- Spa
- Arcade
- Several restaurants
- Bars
- A fitness center
- Concerts
- Event spaces
To make the resort more family-friendly, they even have a special Cyber Quest arcade just for the kids. Then, while the kids are busy, you can spend more time at the bar or relaxing by the pool with your new friends.
Additional Green Valley Resort Information
- Address: 2300 Paseo Verde Pkwy, Henderson (google maps)

Interesting note: If you’re a fan of Hell’s Kitchen, and you’ve seen the series from the beginning, then you should recognize this hotel name. Rock, the winner of Season 3, worked here for at least a year after he won. If that isn’t enough to make you want to visit, then I don’t know what else to tell you.

3. El Cortez Hotel and Casino
The El Cortez Hotel and Casino is a great option to save money and enjoy a historic property. It is the longest continuously running casino in Las Vegas, first having opened its doors in 1941. However, that will mean that it’s not for everyone.
It’s a historic property (recently renovated), which not everyone finds appealing, and it doesn’t have a pool, something that a lot of people want.
On the other hand, El Cortez Hotel and Casino is located in Downtown Vegas, putting it right within walking distance of plenty of awesome bars and restaurants and, of course, the Fremont Street Experience. On top of that, the El Cortez is extremely budget-friendly.
El Cortez Hotel and Casino Amenities
El Cortez’s amenities include:
- An onsite spa
- Beauty salon
- Barbershop
- Sportsbook
- Ike’s bar
The hotel features six restaurants on-premises with options for every price point, ranging from Subway to all-you-can-eat sushi after a long night out on the town.
Additional El Cortez Hotel and Casino Information
- Address: 600 E E Fremont St, Las Vegas (google maps)
- The property is surrounded by downtown bars, restaurants, casinos, and attractions that are all within easy walking distance. The property is just a short Uber ride to the Strip.

4. Aliante Casino + Hotel + Spa
If you’re looking for a more luxurious option than El Cortez and you’re okay with being a bit farther from the Strip, then Aliante Casino Hotel & Spa could be a fantastic option.
It’s located around 15 miles (24 km) away from the Las Vegas Strip, so this is another option that may pose problems if you don’t have a car with you. However, even if you don’t have a car, Aliante has enough amenities and events on-site that you’ll be satisfied even if you never leave the resort.
Aliante Casino + Hotel + Spa is located on over 40 acres (16.2 ha) of beautifully maintained land. It is a AAA Four Diamond Resort and has over 200 one and two-bedroom suites.
Aliante Resort Amenities
This resort has a lot going for it, including:

- 100,000 sq. ft (9,290 m2) of gaming space
